Update from dealer: "An update for you in that the car is being shipped to the UK currently as far as I can see as it was "released to ship" while I was away. I am just waiting for confirmation that the car has arrived in the UK"

But tracker still showing '3 weeks' whereas other's have updated to 10 days overnight! Hmmm - maybe this means I'll be on next week's ship?

Your car is going to Grimsby?

That's frustrating, maybe mine is still at the port and won't actually be in the UK until next week.

Same story here.. at least one other BW40 destined for Grimsby changed to 10 days overnight.

All is not lost - Autorunner has just left Emden bound for Sheerness, but usually goes on to Grimsby for a second drop off I believe. Hopefully tracker will show 10 days tomorrow if on board!

Thanks Neil - here is hoping!

Dealer seem convinced it's on a ship, but I would presume that 'released to ship' as he's saying is promising.

Phew! Collected mine today after an eventful trip. Am I the first UK 41'er?

Thanks to Lee and Chris at Cheltenham VW.

Full report in due course.

I believe so!

Mine is still stuck at 3 weeks, so clearly missed the boat!

This is extremely frustrating, even some B/W 42ers have had their cars arrive in the UK!
